Re: Streets Penny Bowl and a Tooti Fruity Too
Totally agree, I've let items run their course only to lose out but that's the word AUCTION ! They are all at it on ebay, I was within a whisker of buying a Jag yesterday after bidding many times during the 9 day auction only for the vendor to remove it at the last minute. When I looked back at his ...

Re: Streets Penny Bowl and a Tooti Fruity Too
The Penny bowl was taken off due to lack of bids (11pounds or so )I think size and weight puts a lot of us off bidding on this type of machine. The Tooti Fruity made 332 pounds. I have bought from this seller before and his machines tend to be clean and work well. If I didn't already have a tooty fr...

Re: Roto-Pool, Roto-Fruit, Rotolite, Electrodart, Bingola, etc.
Finally got the machine home and it looks almost original particularly the front glass and the uni selectors seems good. No makers name but very much in the style Electrodart /Jamesons. Leaf switches only need a clean. However the bottom of the cabinet is damaged on the underside but is a fairly pra...

Re: Roto-Pool, Roto-Fruit, Rotolite, Electrodart, Bingola, etc.
Hi,
I've just bought this machine from the person who bought it off Ebay on Friday. I haven't seen it in the flesh yet but I will pick it up this week. I can't understand the prices yet as I have bought it for £160. I'll report on condition and front glass when I pick it up.

Re: Coin hoarders
Not the same thing, but after my Mum died, I was clearing her house and her bedside table had a wobbly leg that for twenty years had been wedged with a folded ten bob note. Bit of a character my Mum was.

Re: ebay prices
Bargains can be found elsewhere though. Just missed a Bryan's clock online in Chippenham auction house selling at £140. Always miss a bargain I do.

Re: Ebay scam
Lets face it Ebay is just a waste of time. The number of times I have had bidders spoil the end of one of my multibid auctions by not paying is unbelievable. You have to open an unpaid item case which always ends in Ebay simply telling them not to do it again. They take the commission for the sale f...

Re: Roto-Pool Manuals with wiring diagram
Sterling work here. Fantastic effort. Now if I could only find the same for my Jamiesons Autofruit machine then I'll do a double backflip from the top of the shed ! I Think I'm safe.

Yes I am carefully cleaning the contacts but not concentrating too much force and making double sure to get the faces square.

Re: Leaf switch tool ?
Thanks fella's, I appreciate each and everyone's help. It's true you have to be ever so careful using pliers as they can easily cause damage. I just find it all very strange that, as far as I can make out, none of the UK based pinball suppliers stock this tool and the US ones mean that the postage i...

Re: Leaf switch tool ?
Thanks Raj, that's a bit more food for thought. Funnily enough I was just thinking back to the days when my old Jags had RB340 cut outs on them with leaf type contacts inside. I will persue this further on the BT side of things. You are a bit mean not giving me yours though lol, Take care.

Re: Leaf switch tool ?
Thanks for your suggestion my friend. I think I will at least have a go with mini vice and as you say fine hacksaw or very sheepish Dremel tool. Cheers.

Leaf switch tool ?
Hi, just taking a little break from working on my mechanical slots and sorting out my 1966 Williams full house E.M. pinball machine. My question is does anyone know where I can purchase an adjustment tool in the UK to adjust the many leaf switches on the machine? I have been using a pair of mini lon...

Re: JAIMISONS AUTOFRUIT
Thanks, I'm away till the weekend, but I'll see if I can get any decent photos taken (not my best subject !) and, if so, post them next week.Yes it's the two pygmy bulbs directly behind the Autofruit sign that are lit but apart from that ''no one is home'' lol. Cheers now. PS. Just remembered that t...
